[TowerTalk] 10 METERS GIANT ANTENNA

[L. B. Cebik]

Let me second the note about the narrowing beamwidth of side-by-side
Yagis--at optimal gain spacing, the beamwidth halves.  So if beamwidth is
an issue, vertical stacking preserves it, while horizontal stacking
narrows it considerably.  Even a diamond configuration of beam has 2
side-by-side, and the beamwidth is the narrower figure.  Adding more
elements per beam slowly narrows the beamwidth, making it more
controlable in design of the overall array.
